Its rare to find anyone with a non-32 bit computer, and non-x86 compatible compiler...

A very dissapointing line of reasoning.

I think his query refers to your assertion that it is 32 bits 'by standard' ;) It is only guaranteed to be >= short and <= long. What if mkh goes on to develop programs for other platforms in the future?

Bah you guys...!!!
Nowadays most of computers ARE 32bit!!!!!
Most 32 bit compilers use 32 bit long ints, and 32 bit long floats...
Who said it'll be always like this?
Was I clear??.... :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

So what if you're mostly right (which is doubtful), it won't be too long before your assumtion will be false. 64bit is emerging at the high end, and sooner or later it will work its way down to your desktop.

There are vastly more embedded processors in the world, many of which do not fit your standard assumption of a 32 bit world.

Best long term plan is to not get too "chummy" with this idea that everything is 32 bit.

Most doesn't mean 100%, 2# 64 bit computers are 'emerging', but have not yet emerged.

And standard was a bad word... I mean default.

What do you mean by "not yet emerged"? When I can buy an AMD64 based computer at my local Best Buy, I'd say they're more than "emerging".

Anyway, yes, when you say the word "standard" here, we pedantics think you mean The Standard(TM). ;)

This particular heresy bids fair to be replaced by "All the world's a Sun" or "All the world's a 386" (this latter being a particularly revolting invention of Satan), but the words apply to all such without limitation. Beware, in particular, of the subtle and terrible "All the world's a 32-bit machine", which is almost true today but shall cease to be so before thy resume grows too much longer.

Can anyone enlighten me? Why tihis... this crap prints 12? It seems to have something to do with long long, because Single Precision analog did work perfectly. I use VC.NET 2003
